Official: A Slew of Animate Dead Fixes

[Fallen]

In addition to the hurling fix, here are some other bugs with animate dead that were squashed. Also, Triton Defenders are no longer able to be animated.




animates will bardsong and help monsters (see below) and not grouped sorcerer, animates (radicals) can cast other group spells (clerical in nature) helping monsters.

This has currently been fixed for Song of Tonis (1035). I'll look into the other bard and cleric spells.


In addition to animates hurling and previous issues mentioned, animate's will coup and scare themselves.


Coase just fixed this, along with causing it to inspiring the animate's master.

Animates should no longer attack targets that are not in the same room.

Censure (316), Implosion (720), Boil Earth (917), Song of Disruption (1030), and Sympathy (1120) should now all play nice with animates.

In other news, Song of Holding (1001) should now play nicely with animates (i.e. when cast by the animate, it shouldn't affect the sorcerer). I was going to look into the issue with Benediction (307) and Warding Sphere (310), but due to the other recent changes to cleric and paladin group spells, I need to hold off on updating those two.
